Official Zooomr Blog

Hi again everyone!

The awesome people behind SFWIN (Chris Law, Nova Spivack and Shannon Clark) have agreed to allow me to demo Zooomr once again at their event. (Thanks guys!)

I have decided to debut Zooomr 2 at this event and I would appreciate if everyone who is interested might swing-by to see Zooomr 2 first hand.

When is this shindig?

When: April 13th, 2006 at 6p
Where: Adobe of SF (Formerly Macromedia)

Be sure to RSVP immediately to receive priority and to reduce the entrance fee.

Hope to see you there!

I was talking with Thomas Hawk this morning and he started to talk to me about features the flickr folks have neglected to implement — a perfect test for Zooomr and the BlueNote Framework.

Thomas: Blogging a photo is one thing, tracking viewership something else entirely.
Kristopher: Give me 15 more minutes and you will see refers.
Thomas: wow.

The result is something I’m calling “Photo Trackbacks”. Most people in the blogging community know what trackbacks are, now you can see what’s going on with where your photos are posted. Results are given directly under comments in a handy list; nothing is shown if no trackbacks have occured.

I’m planning on growing this out into something bigger soon, hopefully forming some sort of analytics end to Zooomr.

In either case, all of this should prove to be interesting.

I’m excited to bring everyone two new things today. One is a completely white layout and the other is Zooomr reborn into Zooooomr^3.

A new layout

White. Yeah, it might be bright and annoying as heck… Many times incredibly blinding — but it’s still white, something you seriously can’t argue one way or the other — That’s why Zooooomr^3 is now completely white — completely. It’s so white that photos actually REFLECT on its surface! I’m dubbing it “SupRWHITE™”. Check it out here.

Zooooomr^3

Names are really important things to many people — A reoccurring question that I ask myself almost everyday, “How can I really tell people what ‘Zooomr’ is about.” That, and also we didn’t have enough Os.

Luckily, the answer came to me today on April 1st, of all days! I was such a fool to not see it earlier; Starting today, I’m again quite excited to announce our name change to “Zooooomr^3″.

We are certainly living in exciting times.

Enjoy it all.
